acceleratechange.” [1] (Sands & Shushok, 2020). They portray a vision where a “student, staff, or facultymember should be able to be anywhere in the world participating in a learning or discoverycommunity and still be fully engaged with the university.” They go so far as to quote the bionicman from the fantasy 1970s TV series, saying “we have the technology.”Three special issues for archival journals related to chemical engineering education: Advances inEngineering Education, [2] Biomedical Engineering Education, [3] and the Journal of ChemicalEducation[4] have published 255 special issue papers address a broad span of topics includingcourse design, content delivery, assessment practices, classroom environment, and project andlaboratory work.

Fogler’s textbooks are still the most popular. Over 80% of courses cover topics throughsteady-state reactors in depth. Over 60% of courses also cover unsteady non-isothermal reactorsand reaction hazards but with less depth. Over half of the courses responded that more than 50%of the homework assignments use a computer, which is a substantial increase from the survey in2010. Exams and individual homework assignments are still the most popular assessments, butteam homework and team projects are increasing.

Engineering Education, 2021 Impact of Immersive Training on Senior Chemical Engineering Students' Prioritization of Process Safety Decision CriteriaIntroductionProcess safety is becoming a greater focus of chemical plant design and operation due to thenumber of incidents involving dangerous chemical accidents [1]. Since its creation nearly 20years ago, the Chemical Safety Board (CSB) has investigated 130 safety incidents and providedover 800 safety recommendations to operating chemical facilities. Following a gas well blowoutin 2018, the CSB gave a recommendation to the American Petroleum Institute (API) to establishrecommended practice on alarm management [2]. Similarly, in 2017, the CSB gave arecommendation to Arkema Inc. to

With the arrival of COVID-19, it was challenging to make virtual classes interactive andengaging in the same way as the in-person classes are. To combat the problem, the instructor em-ployed many technological interventions in instructional teaching during these unprecedentedtimes to make the virtual classes lively while still educating and imparting knowledge to studentsduring the Fall 2020 semester. The intervention used here has already been individually tested ineducational settings and has been found

University of Kansas hastraditionally been taught as a 2-credit hour, 1-semester course in the fall of the freshman year. In2019, the course was redesigned to span both the fall and spring semesters and incorporate ahands-on laboratory experience each semester. The lab was structured to accommodateenrollments of up to 144 students, with each student attending four two-hour laboratory sessionsduring each semester. This paper is focused on the laboratory component of the fall semestercourse. The primary goal of the fall semester laboratory was to expose students to chemicalengineering concepts while providing opportunities to see chemical engineering processes fromfeedstock selection to products utilization. The focus of the laboratory was the

Enhanced Student LearningIntroductionWe are living in a continually evolving world. Globalization and advances in technology demandthe recent chemical engineering graduates be employed in fields that did not exist 10-20 yearsago, such as biotechnology, nanotechnology, product development, and sustainable practices [1].In response to the above challenges, besides gaining technological knowledge, the students alsoneed to be emphatic and critical thinkers to become leaders in solving multidisciplinary problems[2]. Therefore, the traditional teaching techniques need to be improved and upgraded to bridgethe gap between the existing chemical engineering curriculum and what the chemicalengineering graduates need to learn to succeed in their careers [3

In thispaper we present preliminary results from pre- and post- implementation conceptual assessmentsfor the hydraulic loss module and motivational surveys completed for virtual implementations ofLCDLMs and compare them with a subset of results collected during hands-on implementationsin previous years.

Engineering education, many theories and concepts are used to understandthe inner workings of equipment, and students get opportunities to interact in physical labs. Theequipment that is used to showcase the phenomena can take up benchtop space to half the room.Therefore, the costs required to purchase and maintain equipment, space for storing theequipment, and faculty supervision must be available for students to access the lab. Furthermore,installed physical units are static and hard to change, leading to limited experiments andparameters that students can study [1]. When reviewing the financial impact physical labs have,certain universities with more disposable capital can afford to invest in improving the quality ofthe lab experience. Other

High structure courses have also been shown toimprove student learning and reduce achievement gaps in introductory courses [3, 4]. As with allclass types, instructors will give advice to students for how to succeed in high structure courseswhich is based off of their experiences, other colleagues’ experiences, and literature suggestionson how to optimize these classes

the recitation would be devoted to students working on special homework problems(“section problems”) which we describe next.Each week, one of the students’ homework problems, written by E. B., was more authentic than a typicaltextbook problem. Students would be required to make their own assumptions and set their own designcriteria, and might have to look up information to solve the problem (i.e. in handbooks, published researcharticles, etc.). In general, they would have to make design decisions with limited information, just as anengineer would do in the workplace. An example problem is in Figure 1. These section problems were 50%of students’ weekly homework grades. Students would be given 15 minutes in section each week to workon these

More specifically, severalresearch questions will be explored: 1. What fraction of students correctly solve problemsbeyond those earning a homework grade? 2. Does the fraction of students completed extraproblems and the number of extra problems successfully completed change over the course ofthe semester? 3. Since previous research found that success on homework problems increaseswith each letter grade, does completing more end-of-chapter questions than required correlatewith
